We understand that music doesn’t always fit neatly into a single genre. If this is the case, there is another dedicated section below that you may fill out.

Another reason we ask for this information is that, as we move into 2026, we want to make sure we’re pairing our events thoughtfully with your music. Our aim is to create the best possible experience for both you and the audience.

If your act is modular with different possible lineups, please select all options that apply to your live setup. For example: if your group usually performs as a duo but you also offer solo sets, select both “Solo Performance” and “Duo Performance.”
8. If you have any links that you would like to share with us please free to leave below. Feel free to share a link to Dropbox, google drive or YouTube. This is not required
We will not be downloading files. So make sure they can be accessed without the need to download. (This is especially the case of large files on Google drive or Dropbox. Due to University firewall restrictions, some files become unreadable. To not have to deal with this complication it just easier if all links are to trusted web addresses.

The USU has some limitations on the equipment we can provide at certain venues. For performances at Courtyard Café, Hermann’s Bar, or pop-up locations around campus (ISL Lounge, Easter Avenue, etc), our setup is more restricted in terms of what we can supply, transport, and set up. For these performances, please ensure you bring any equipment we do not provide. If you have any special requirements, you’ll need to supply those yourself.

Please review the list of available equipment as it has been updated coming into 2026. You can Find that HERE.

Note: For Manning Bar Band Nights, the setup aligns with industry standards and includes a full mixing desk, lighting, and backline hire. Please note that a different booking process applies for these events.
